Thank you, Mr Trump

But most everyone I interviewed for this story says the real catalyst has to do with the infamous Access Hollywood video released by The Washington Post last year, in which Donald Trump brags about grabbing women. That tape rankled a lot of women — and then, during the presidential campaign there were also allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump.

"Trump has reinvigorated feminism and the women's movement in a way that nothing has done for decades,"....

In a recent study by American University and Loyola Marymount University, researchers found that so far this year, the number of women running for office has not dramatically changed from previous years. But the report, titled “The Trump Effect,” found that a quarter of the women who have jumped into politics in 2017 began to consider running for office only after Mr. Trump’s election.

trump you are doing a good job. not great but at least better than obama. under hussien obama people were scared to come forward with these things

No, women realized that if a pussy-grabbing asshole like Trump could actually become the President that was a clear indication that they needed to be more vocal, aggressive and assertive regarding feminism.
You are completely clueless.

Trump did not brag about ‘grabbing women’. I’ve heard the tape a number of times, and that is just another invention by the Left, who love changing history at every opportunity.

That tape rankled a lot of women

Most women were not rankled at all by it, since it was a nothingburger.

— and then, during the presidential campaign there were also allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump.

What did you expect? Did you ever think the Democrats wouldn’t use their dirty tricks campaign? It failed miserably, so they started building a giant nothingburger instead. That didn’t work either.

"Trump has reinvigorated feminism and the women's movement in a way that nothing has done for decades

I think he has done a great deal to diminish the Left, including Feminists, who were taken over by Lefties long ago, by shining a good strong light on them. The “reinvigorating” you point to is just the scurrying cockroaches trying to get out of Trump’s light. Don’t mistake ‘scurrying’ with ‘invigoration’.

More white women voted for Trump. I'm not convinced anyone cared until now. Watch what happens with the Alabama pedophile, Roy Moore, that many Alabamans say they will still vote for.

In politics many voters lay their morals and bibles in the gutter because morals and bibles are never convenient. I will not believe until we see change in attitude. Right here in PH some men are questioning the 14 year old victim of Moore.

If I had to bet on whether this is even remotely related to our immoral President I'd put money on no.

if a pussy-grabbing asshole like Trump could actually become the President

“Grabbing pussy” is what all child-making American men do. If you find one who uses welder’s tongs instead of touching, then you know you either have a mental case or he has a wife with a nasty medical problem down below. Since when did you become America’s Sex Minister, able to decide whether Trump may touch a woman’s pussy or not and make sweeping proclamations about it? Aren’t you just another anonymous poster with a stained keyboard?
